:wave: :coffee2: Good Monday morning everyone!
Good to see you Sunnybird and NHDal! :)


4/3/21 E17,right,and E18,left, resting in the nest after a busy day of wingersizing
and hopping about the veranda and spikes.

E17 watching above intently while E18 is dreaming of a nice big :fish:

E18,left, stirs and says " What's on your mind E17?"
E17 tells E18 " I can't wait to check out the branches up there and to be able to fly"
4321eesh17r (2).jpg
E18 responds lovingly to E17- " You will soon enough. We both will-we are born to fly.
Now get some rest while I get back to my fish." :D

Hello everyone. I visited the nest this morning.

:vid: VIDEO: https://youtu.be/sB9nngnDb8g

Harriet Watches Her Territory From The Front Pine 08-02-21

Harriet perched overnight in a front pine... she was seen flying there last night at dusk and was still there when I arrived today before dawn. Harriet was well hidden in the pine branches, watching her territory silently and preening at times. She flew south across the road before sunrise. My check of known perch spots did not find her or M15, only Wood Storks, White Ibis and Snowy Egrets fishing in one of the drainage areas. Don't worry about M15... he was seen one evening last week perched in the nest tree. August is still their "vacation" time. :Cool:

:woohoo: Hello Vicki!
I'm really enjoying being able to see Harriet, and all around the pasture areas, during the summer months!
Good to hear that M15 has been seen in the nest tree last week! :thumlft:
Thank you for visiting the nest this morning and then sharing your video with us! ~Journi

What a pleasant surprise! Thank you Vicki for the video and the updates! :hug:
M15 was probably doing an inspection of the nest to get ready for nestorations. :D

Good morning Journi, MaryF, Suemac and lovinnature! :bye 1:
Belated Happy International Friendship Day! :) My computer died several days ago :bashcomp: and the part to repair it just arrived yesterday, so I am "catching up" on all of your wonderful scaps and commentary to keep all of us forum watchers occupied and excited as we get closer and closer to the opening of Season 10.
I have thoroughly enjoyed E17 and E18's Olympic and E-lympic medal events. We knew that Harriet and M15 raised eaglets that would go for the gold! :hooray: :eag: :eag: I think my cheeks hurt from smiling so much! :D
Hope you all enjoy the rest of the summer and I can't wait to see what other scaps and commentary you will post before Season 10 begins.
:ty: so much for all you do to keep all of us heading to the forum each day!

:eag: Hi NHDALGAL!
It is so good to see you here this morning! (Sorry about your PC!)
It has been so much fun posting memory s'caps of E17, E18, Harriet & M15 throughout this summer and yes, I too, have enjoyed them ALL! (Been enjoying Vicki's summer video's too!)
Hope you're having a great summer! We will see you for Season 10... for sure! ~Journi

2021 Cam Maintenance
Matching Drive

A little over 17 weeks ago, we met Tiku from our Surrey Reserve nest; this is just before he or maybe she made it all the way out of the shell:
Image

And now Tiku and Tucca from Surrey Reserve and Hope and Chase from Delta 2 have all set out to explore the world.

We do still have one young eagle to watch - this is Romeo from our White Rock nest, who hatched 6 weeks later than Tiku:
Image

At 11 weeks, he (or maybe she) is practicing perching on the nest supports and exercising those big wings. Eaglets generally fledge (take their first flight) between 10 and 14 weeks, and it's my guess that will happen in the next week or so.

And you know - I haven't really thought about this before - but our little window to access the nests and clean the cams and do any other necessary work isn't always that much longer than the 35-40 days it takes an egg to hatch. Last year the Surrey Reserve adults didn't leave until August 14 (though they weren't visiting very often after Thor left in mid-July) - and Dad Sur was back on September 26. Different pairs have different schedules - and it can vary from year to year - so it would be great if we could get ready now.

With that in mind....
Image

We will be posting more details about our Adopt-a-Nest program, the new option to adopt one of our eagles with a tracker (details soon), the Monthly Donor program - and the work we need to do on the 10 cameras we now have at five different nests.

The important thing to know is that at least the first $1000 in donations toward our cam maintenance fund drive will be matched by long-time supporters of Hancock Wildlife - so the time to donate is now!
